Upon arriving home, a husband was met at the door by his sobbing wife.
> Tearfully, she explained, > 'It's the chemist. He insulted me terribly this
> morning on the phone. I had to call multiple times before he would even answer
> the phone.' Immediately, the husband drove downtown to confront
> the chemist and demanded an apology. Before he could say more than a word or two, the
> chemist told him, 'Now, just a minute, listen to my side of it. This
> morning, the alarm failed to go off, so I was late getting up. I went
> without breakfast and hurried out to the car, just to realize that
> I'd locked the house with both house and car keys in side and had to break a
> window to get my keys. 'Then, driving a little too fast, I got a
> speeding ticket. Later, when I was two streets from the store, I had a flat
> tyre.' 'When I finally got to the store, a bunch of people were
> waiting for me to open up. I got the store opened and started waiting
> on these people. All the time, the darn phone was ringing.' He
> continued, 'Then, I had to break a bag of coins against the
> till drawer to make change, and they spilled all over the floor. I had to get
> down on my hands and knees to pick them up, and the
> phone was still ringing. When I came up I cracked my head on the
> open till drawer, which made me stagger back against a showcase with
> a bunch of perfume bottles on it. Half of them hit the floor and broke.'
> 'Meanwhile, the phone is still ringing with no let up, and I finally
> got back to answer it. It was your wife. She wanted to know how to use a
> rectal thermometer. And believe me mister, as God is my witness, all I
> did was tell her. '
